Vhat I claim as my inventionand desire to protect 'by Letters Patent is l. Apparatus for discharging and delivering sand to the Wheel track of a motor vehicle comprising a rotary'san'd container mounted on trunnions and provided With lilling and discharge apertures 'in combination With a curved electric solenoid connected to it at one end adapted to rotate it part of a revolution in onedirection and a spring to return it 'to normal position.

2. Apparatus for discharging and delivering sand to the Wheel track of a motor vehicle comprising in its construction a rotary sand container mounted on trunnions and provided With illinyq` and discharge aperture, a' casing Within which the sand container! Sis enclosed, a curved electric solenoid `disposed Within the casing at one end, a curvedv core within the solenoid Coil fitted With `a central rotary spindle adapted `to rotate part of a revolution in either directionV and means to `connect the core spindle with the sand container to impart motion thereto.

. 3. Apparatus for discharging and delivering sand to the Wheel track of a motor vehicle comprising in its construction a. rotary sand container mounted on trunnions and provided With filling andfdischarge apertures, a casing Within vvvliichthe sand container is enclosed provided With an aperture through which the sand is discharged, a,

curved electric solenoid disposed at one end of the sand container, a curved core Within the solenoid coil, a central` rotary spindle attached to thecore to rotate asthe core moves tov and fro in the coil, a disc on the core spindle with which the end of the sand container engages to receive motion therefrom.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
